Benefits of technology

[0007]It is an object of the present invention to provide a manufacturing machine for producing tobacco industry articles, designed to eliminate the above drawbacks and which is also cheap and easy to produce.

Problems solved by technology

Changing some or all of the operating parts of a feed station is a complicated, time-consuming job, both to dismantle the existing operating parts, and above all to assemble the new parts.
Dismantling the existing operating parts may be time-consuming and complicated by access to the feed station being hindered by the adjacent feed stations; whereas assembling the new parts is always time-consuming and complicated, on account of the necessity, once the new operating parts are connected mechanically (which in itself is done fairly quickly), to calibrate / adjust the new parts so they interact properly.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]Number 1 in FIG. 1 indicates as a whole a manufacturing machine for producing combination cigarette filters 2, each of which comprises a group 3 of filter portions 4 wrapped in a sheet 5 of wrapping material folded and glued into a tube.

[0014]Manufacturing machine 1 comprises a group-forming unit 6 for forming groups 3 of filter portions 4, each comprising three different filter portions 4 aligned axially and contacting at the ends. Manufacturing machine 1 also comprises a wrapping unit 7, which receives a succession of groups 3 of filter portions 4 from group-forming unit 6, wraps a strip 8 of wrapping material about the succession of groups 3 of filter portions 4 to form a continuous filter rod (not shown), and cuts individual combination filters 2 from the continuous filter rod by cyclically cutting the filter rod transversely. Finally, manufacturing machine 1 comprises a transfer unit 9, which transfers groups 3 of filter portions 4 from group-forming unit 6, in which grou...
